KeepAlive Off

MaxClients 384

MinSpareServers 20

MaxSpareServers 25

2. in /usr/local/ddos/ddos.conf

NO_OF_CONNECTIONS=20

3. You should have 7 SSH session and 1 WHM at the time of DDOS.

4. Check the domlogs to trace out a particular website for the DDOS. Use the following command to check the latest updated domlog file for the website.

ll -lt |less

5. You should keep the following command to check the DDOS.

top, access_logs, error_logs,

ps aux | grep php

check the apache status in the WHM

cd /root/nobody_check

./apachetrace

cd /tmp

ls and check suspected scripts.

6. If necessary reboot the server. This will kill the http process which is causing the DOS. When the server is up, that process will start again and at that time you can trace it and kill it.

7. You can change the permission of the suspected domain. Make the DNS changes to 127.0.0.1 . please use TTL 20 for fast dns propagation. Don't set the redirectio for the website in httpd.conf.

8. After the DDOS attacker is trace down, don't forget to revert back the changes make to https.conf.

9. Suspend the suspected domain and mail the client about this.

As per apache load.

Ps auw |grep nobody

We check is there any old or bad process kill it

We check apache status.

We check access_logs

We check domlogs of domain

For control

1)cap domain name for ip limit

2)if ddos 127.0.0.1 update client

3)if accessing only one file redirect it

4)if ~access ban by mod_sec

in ddos we used following method

In DDOS ON mode usually the best setting is

/usr/local/ddos/ddos.conf

NO_OF_CONNECTIONS=100

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Timeout =10

KeepAlive = OFF

mod_evasive = uncomment

===========================================================

In DDOS OFF mode

/usr/local/ddos/ddos.conf

NO_OF_CONNECTIONS=650

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Timeout =50

KeepAlive = On

mod_evasive = comment

Ddos mode should be off when attack stop.

We check proc/pid too

mysqladmin processlist

if one database again and again we suspend him.

Insallation of Shoutcast

What is shoutcast?

SHOUTcast is Nullsoft's Free Winamp-based distributed streaming audio system. Thousands of broadcasters around the world are waiting for you to tune in and listen. You can start your own radio station and stream music and live shows. See an example of hundreds of world-wide stations at shoutcast.com

-------------------------------

How do we install shoutcast?

Generally you dont want to run shoutcast as root as that can be really bad and a security issue, instead we'll create a shoutcast user:

1.) Login to root through SSH on the server.
2.) adduser shoutcast
3.) passwd shoutcast

Now it will ask for a new password set this and remember it.

Installing shoutcast

Lets grab shoutcast from nullsoft:

1) wget http://www.shoutcast.com/downloads/sc1-9-2/shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

Lets extract shoutcast:
2) tar -zxvf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz

Lets tidy up the directory:
3) rm -rf shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6.tar.gz
mv shoutcast-1-9-2-linux-glibc6 shoutcast
cd shoutcast

Shoutcast has now been installed!


How to configure shoutcast?

Now we need to edit the configuration file.

pico sc_serv.conf
or you can use vi which I prefer, a bit more advanced to use.
vi sc_serv.conf

Ok lets set some important configureation options. Change these settings in the file:
MaxUser
Password
PortBase

uncomment AdminPassword and set an admin password.

Now at this point you can go threw the settings and change them to what you want or you can save and start shoutcast and it will work perfectly.

to save crtl+x (if using pico) or :wq if using vi

How do i start shoutcast?

./sc_serv sc_serv.conf

How to disable telnet access on server

Telnet should be disabled on all web servers, and you should use SSH. Telnet sends password in plain text passwords and usernames through logins, and ‘crackers/hackers’ can obtain these passwords easily as compared to SSH. TELNET server listens for incoming messages on port 23, and sends outgoing messages to port 23.

1. Login to your server through SSH as a root user.

2. open file
# vi /etc/xinetd.d/telnet

3. Look for the line: disable = no and replace with disable = yes

4. Now restart the inetd service:
#/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart

5. Turn off it through chkconfig as well because it can still start through that.
#/sbin/chkconfig telnet off

6. Scan your server to ensure port 23 is closed.
#nmap -sT -O localhost

Also run ps -aux | grep telnet and if you find anything other than “grep telnet” as result kill the process.

Difference between Linux and Windows

Linux is an open-source Operating System. People can change codes and add programs to Linux OS which will help use your computer better. Linux evolved as a reaction to the monopoly position of windows. you can't change any code for windows OS. You can't even see which processes do what and build your onw extension. Linux wants the programmers to extend and redesign it's OS. Linux user's can edit its OS and design new OS.

All flavors of Windows come from Microsoft. Linux come from different companies like LIndows , Lycoris, Red Hat, SuSe, Mandrake, Knopping, Slackware.

Linux is customizable but Windows is not. For example,NASlite is a version of Linux that runs off a single floppy disk and converts an old computer into a file server. This ultra small edition of Linux is capable of networking, file sharing and being a web server.

Linux is freely available for desktop or home use but Windows is expensive. For server use, Linux is cheap compared to Windows. Microsoft allows a single copy of Windows to be used on one computer. You can run Linux on any number of computers.

Linux has hign security. You have to log on to Linux with a userid and password. You can login as root or as normal user. The root has full previlage.

Linux has a reputation for fewer bugs than Windows.

Windows must boot from a primary partition. Linux can boot from either a primary partition or a logical partition inside an extended partition. Windows must boot from the first hard disk. Linux can boot from any hard disk in the computer.

Windows uses a hidden file for its swap file. Typically this file resides in the same partition as the OS (advanced users can opt to put the file in another partition). Linux uses a dedicated partition for its swap file.

Windows separates directories with a back slash while Linux uses a normal forward slash.

Windows file names are not case sensitive. Linux file names are. For example "abc" and "aBC" are different files in Linux, whereas in Windows it would refer to the same file.

Windows and Linux have different concepts for their file hierarchy. Windows uses a volume-based file hierarchy while Linux uses a unified scheme. Windows uses letters of the alphabet to represent different devices and different hard disk partitions. eg: c: , d: , e: etc.. while in linux " / " is the main directory.

Linux and windows support the concept of hidden files. In linux hidden files begin with " . ", eg: .filename

In Linux each user will have a home directory and all his files will be save under it while in windows the user saves his files anywhere in the drive. This makes difficult to have backup for his contents. In Linux its easy to have backup's.

PhpMyAdmin Installation Step by Step

This is a step-by-step tutorial for installation of phpMyAdmin on your shared/reseller/dedicated hosting space using FTP access or shell access.

1.ftp::Download the latest version from http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/downloads.php.

The latest version is at the top. You can download the .zip file.

Shell::wget
http://mesh.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin-2.9.0-rc1.tar.gz

2. ftp ::Extract the contents of the .zip file using a program like winrar.

shell:: tar -zxvf phpMyAdmin-2.9.0-rc1.tar.gz

3. [Optional] You may want to delete unneeded language files. This saves time while uploading. Go into ‘lang’ folder and delete all files except a) all the .sh files and b) the three .php files having names starting w/ ‘english’.

4. In this tutorial scope, we are going to have phpMyAdmin access and control all the tables in a single database that you are going to create.

a. Create a DB using cPanel

b. Create MySQL username and a password for this user

c. Assign all privileges to this user to access the DB

5. Edit the config.inc.php file.

a. Usually it is ‘localhost’.

$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’host’] = ‘localhost’; // MySQL hostname or IP address

b. Enter MySQL user you created in step 4 b.

$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’controluser’] = ‘MySQL_user’; // MySQL control user

settings

c. Enter MySQL user’s password that you created in step 4 b.

$cfg[’Servers’][$i][’controlpass’] = ‘MySQL_pass’; // access to the

“mysql/user”

d. Save the file and close it.

6. ftp::Log into your web space using a FTP client and create a directory, say phpmyadmin under public_html. Upload all the content into the directory created.

Shell:: For the convient move the phpMyAdmin fodler to phpmyadmin using following command under your public_html folder

mv phpMyAdmin-2.9.0-rc1 phpmyadmin

7. Installation is complete. Simply point your browser to the directory where you installed phpMyAdmin and you should be able to start using it.

8. Important: Password protect the directory where you installed phpMyAdmin or else anyone will be able to access it! You can do that using the admin panel that your host provides.

How to stop hotlinking using .htaccess

You can stop others from hotlinking your site's files by placing a file called .htaccess in your Apache site root (main) directory. The period before the name means the file is hidden, so you may want to edit your file as htaccess.txt, upload it to your server, then rename the txt file to .htaccess in your directory. Contact your web host on how to access your directories and configure your .htaccess file.


Example: Your site url is www.mysite.com. To stop hotlinking of your images from other sites and display a replacement image called nohotlink.jpe placed in your images directory, place this code in your .htaccess file:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.com/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]

The first line of the above code begins the rewrite. The second line matches any requests from your own mysite.com url. The [NC] code means "No Case", meaning match the url regardless of being in upper or lower case letters. The third line means allow empty referrals. The last line matches any files ending with the extension jpeg, jpg, gif, bmp, or png. This is then replaced by the nohotlink.jpe file in your images directory. This JPEG image is using the extension jpe instead of jpg to prevent blocking your own replacement image.


To stop hotlinking from specific outside domains only, such as myspace.com, blogspot.com and livejournal.com, but allow any other web site to hotlink images:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?myspace\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?blogspot\.com/ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://(.+\.)?livejournal\.com/ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ /images/nohotlink.jpe [L]

You can add as many different domains as needed. Each RewriteCond line should end with the [NC,OR] code. NC means to ignore upper and lower case. OR means "Or Next", as in, match this domain or the next line that follows. The last domain listed omits the OR code since you want to stop matching domains after the last RewriteCond line.


You can display a 403 Forbidden error code instead of an image. Replace the last line of the previous examples with this line:


RewriteRule .*\.(jpe?g|gif|bmp|png)$ - [F]


Warning: Do not use .htaccess to redirect image hotlinks to another HTML page or server that isn't your own (such as this web page). Hotlinked images can only be replaced by other images, not with an HTML page.

As with any htaccess rewrites, you may block some legitimate traffic (such as users behind proxies or firewalls) using these techniques.

Steps for Kernel Upgrade

Following are steps to upgrade kernel on live servers.

1. Check current version of kernel on server using command uname -a, if
its 2.4 then download latest release for 2.4 please do not download 2.6
kernel.
You can download kernel from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/
if its 2.4 then http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/, you can
check latest stable release from http://www.kernel.org

2. wget kernel in /usr/local/src
3. untar it using tar -zxvf linux-2.x-xxxx
4. cd linux-2.x-x
5. make clean
6. make mrproper
7. If kernel is 2.4 then copy current version of config file from
/boot/config-’uname-r’ as .config in /usr/local/src/linux-2.x-xx, if
kernel is 2.6 then you do not need to make .config in current directory
8. make menuconfig, select and check if all required modules are
selected,
also make sure that your kernel supports multiple cpu
you can check it and select from processor type, if it displays support
for more then 2 kernel then you do not need to modify anything there.
9. save configuration and exit
10. make modules if kernel is 2.4 then need to run make dep before
running
make modules
11. make modules_install
12. make
13. if 2.4 kernel then need to run make bzImage and then make install,
you can directly run make install if kernel is 2.6
15. now make sure bootloader and modify default kernel accordingly
grubby –bootloader-probe if it displays grub then edit /etc/grub.conf
and
if its lilo then edit lilo.conf and make compiled kernel as default
kernel
16. If your boot loader is lilo then you need to run one more command
/sbin/lilo which will update lilo
17. now its time to reboot server

Enabling FP extensions for an addon domain

HowTo enable FP extensions for an addon domain
——————————————————————-
A) We won’t be able to install FP extensions on addon domain basically for
two reasons.

1) There won’t be a ServerName entry for the addon domain in the Apache config file and hence the install program will show an error like
the “domain” is not a valid virtual server.

2) FrontPage extension install program won’t install extensions in a directory which comes under another domains web root having FP extensions already installed.

To overcome these hurdles you can do the following.

1) Comment out the existing ServerName entry for the subdomain.

2) Create a new ServerName entry for in the corresponding subdomain’s VirtualHost entry.

3) Create a temporary folder in the document root of main domain and MOVE all .htaccess* and _* files from public_html in to the new directory.

4) Remove the _* and .htaccess files(created by FP) from the addon domain’s folder.

5) Verify the access.conf file in apache config directory and ensure that the AllowOverride directive is set to ‘All’. Some times this will not be enough for us to continue, hence, you have to make sure that the AllowOverride is set to ‘All’(by default it will
be ‘None’) in Apache config file.
Change only the directive inside entry.

6) Restart Apache and run the install program from back end.

#/usr/local/frontpage/version5.0/bin/owsadm.exe -o install -u $USERNAME -xuser $USERNAME -xgroup $USERNAME -p 80 -m $DOMAIN -pw $PASSWORD -s /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
where
$USERNAME give control panel login name
$DOMAIN give addon domain use www.addon.com
$PASSWORD choose a password

7) Restore the changes you made in the Apache config file.

Cool Move the .htaccess* and _* files from the backup directory (main domain web root).

If you are still having problems with connecting to the server using
FrontPage please make sure that the server name is http://www.addondomainname and you may also want to close the FP program and
start again to clear cache.

Not able to view JSP pages

If you are getting code instead of JSP page then you need to install servlets.

To install servlet go to the WHM >> Account Functions >> Install Servlets. Select domain and install.

After doing this you need to restart tomcat.

Now you will be able to view JSP pages.

Accounts missing from WHM

There are a lot of causes if the accounts in the server are missing from WHM-->list accounts.

Any of the following will cause the issue.

1) The account is missing from httpd.conf

2) The account has no cpanel user file.

3) The account is not there in the following files.
/etc/localdomains, /etc/userdomains, /etc/trueuserdomains and /etc/trueuserowners

/etc/trueuserowners file specifies the owner of each accounts in the following manner.

user: owner

4) If the account's DNS conflicts. ie if the domain has 2 DNS entries such as domainname and www.domainname. It may cause the account not listed in WHM-->list accounts.

You can run the following script if the account is missing.

/scripts/updateuserdomains (It won't add the account in httpd.conf, that
you have to add manually)

WHM not updating quotas

The binary /usr/sbin/repquota must be missing onthe server which is used by the Cpanel script /usr/local/cpanel/bin/cachedrepquota to write to the file
/var/cpanel/repquota.cache.

After copying this binary and executing this script and restarting Cpaneld ,
the issue should be resolved.

Missing DNS zone ?

If you are facing issue related to missing DNS zone with cpanel update do the following:

/scripts/perlinstaller Compress::Raw::Zlib
/scripts/perlinstaller –force Scalar::Util

This should fix the issue.

How to Set wildcard DNS

Edit the httpd.conf and add the line in virtual host of domain.

ServerAlias *.domain.com www.*.domain.com

restart httpd/apache service.

Now edit the DNS file or db file of domain and add the line as

*.domain.com. 14400 IN A IP of server
www.*.domain.com. 14400 IN A IP of server

restart named service

To turn off register globals for a particular user

Put the code in .htaccess
php_flag register_globals off

To view the .html first instead of .php

Add the code in .htaceess as DirectoryIndex index.html

Postfix + ClamAV + MailScanner in OpenSuse 10.2

1) Install the anti virus software (Clamav) –> (here) http://rpm.pbone.net/
rpm -ivh clamav-db-0.88.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh clamav-devel-0.88.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh clamav-server-0.88.2-1.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh clamav-0.88.2-1.i386.rpm

/etc/init.d/clamd start

2. Once the anti-virus is install then we need to install the MailScanner software the RPM along with the source files can be found at
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/downloads.shtml

Now get ready to install the mailscanner, this is going to take a long time.

gzip -d MailScanner-4.46.2-2.rpm.tar.gz
tar -xvf MailScanner-4.46.2-2.rpm.tar
cd MailScanner-4.46.2-2
./install.sh

3. In your MailScanner.conf file in /etc/MailScanner, there are 5 settings you need to change. The settings are:

Run As User = postfix
Run As Group = postfix
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/hold
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/postfix/incoming
MTA = postfix

4. You will need to ensure that the user “postfix” can write to

/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming and /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine

chown postfix:postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming
chown postfix:postfix /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine

5. Edit file MailScanner.conf
Virus Scanners = clamav

6. Edit virus.scanners.conf
clamav /usr/lib/MailScanner/clamav-wrapper /var/lib/clamav

7. Now we need to edit the postfix main.cf file, go all the way to the bottom of the file and add the following
header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/header_checks

8. In the file /etc/postfix/header_checks add this line:
/^Received:/ HOLD

9. Set the servers to run on startup and then start them

chkconfig MailScanner on
chkconfig postfix on
chkconfig clamd on

/etc/init.d/Mailscanner start
/etc/init.d/postfix start
/etc/init.d/clamd start

Nagios Installation and Configuration

Nagios Installation and Configuration

You can use the following steps to install and configure Nagios.

Create the base directory where you would like to install Nagios.
mkdir /usr/local/nagios

Add a new user (and group) to your system.
adduser nagios

Download Nagois 1.0.
wget http://internap.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nagios-1.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf nagios-1.0.tar.gz
cd nagios-1.0

Run the configure script.
./configure –prefix=/usr/local/nagios –with-cgiurl=/nagios/cgi-bin
–with-htmurl=/nagios/ –with-nagios-user=nagios –with-nagios-grp=nagios

Compile Nagios and the CGIs.
make all

Install the binaries and HTML files (documentation and main web page).
make install

Install the sample init script to /etc/rc.d/init.d/nagios.
make install-init

Installing the Plugins
——————————-

In order for Nagios to be of any use to you, you’re going to have to download
and install some plugins. Plugins are scripts or binaries which perform all
the service and host checks that constitute monitoring

Download and install the Nagios Plugins.
wget
http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.3.1-1.9.i386.rpm
rpm -Ivh nagios-plugins-1.3.1-1.9.i386.rpm

Configuring Nagios
—————————

Nagios is compiled and installed. Now we have to configure it or in other
words define objects (hosts, services, etc.) that should be monitored.

The main configuration file (/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg) contains a
number of directives that affect how Nagios operates. This config file is
read by both the Nagios process and the CGIs. This is a sample nagios.cfg
